Yes, it is. The image is not complimentary. Would you like the written
tests
described that way?

So are phrases like

"waste valuable time learning Morse"
"dinosaur/buggywhip technology"

Would you like your favorite modes described that way?

You must have
REALLY thin skin Hans.

In my experience Hans does not have a 'thin skin' at all.


Hey Jim you forgot the "old manual transmission saw" ....BTW I can't wait
for all the leaps and bounds in growth of the service once CW testing is
gone. I would venture to say that at least a half a dozen new modes will be
created within a few months now that all of those EEs will be "activated".
I would even say that I would have to eat crow as no doubt within 1 year a
mode will be discovered that "will always get through". On the serious side
....I feel a bit sad that people, for whatever reason, won't get to enjoy
an "avocal" means of communication utilizing the computer that the we all
have.
